You can explain and explore complex concepts and designs with folks that aren’t programmers where there would otherwise be a gap.

I'm using this right now, but it's noted that "ctags only work with GPT4" so I'm yet to get them working with llama locally.

The companies that invest have products (or have other investments with products) that have a strong market - they end up increasing the price of products to cover the purchase of acquisitions and losses. This results in inflation and worse

Probably the same as most privately funded tech startups 1) Gain user base 2) Take investment funding 3) Sell and make the people at the top rich 4) Repeat.

That is incredibly helpful information, thank you for taking the time to write that up. 240-260GB is a very small amount of data compared to what I backup, my photos and videos are around 150GB, I’ve got a few archives of family documents &

It's such a shame that these big companies are allowed to make so much profit, 'the shareholder is the customer' only furthers disproportionate wealth distribution.

Look at you up there on that high horse, good for you! Some of us have family photos/videos/media/3d models/software we like to back up.

Perhaps wherever you live that's not the case, but it's certainly is in Australia and New Zealand. Statista shows 47% identifying as professionals in the field of software development use Linux-based operating systems. Probably ar

That sounds like you're not using backblaze backup - you might be using backblaze b2 storage? (s3 compatible object storage). If so, how much (in your currency) does it cost you to backup say 3TB with daily (x7), weekly (x4), monthly (

by smcleod 3y ago
Backblaze has been good but me and several others I know are moving away due to not having a Linux client and being licensed per machine rather than per storage or user. It’s 2023 and we have lots of devices and a lot of people have a small

This is absolutely spot on. It’s refreshing to see.

There is, but there’s not nearly enough of them. Check out Fauxpilot https://github.com/fauxpilot/fauxpilot

FOSS can also simply mean Free Open Source Software, not related to any specific org or license.

I could be wrong here and this is the first I’ve heard of this but I suspect it’s the language / way he goes about communicating. On the surface at least it comes across as a little annoying / demanding, things like him having a w

well, that escalated quickly '-), sorry if I opened a can of worms by pointing this out, I guess better to sort these things early on than worry about them later in some ways though.

Funny you mention NZ, kiwi here - back in high school (late 90s, early 00s) it was definitely a known word and had nothing to do with scavenging (or at least I'd hope not!).

I think it was a fair deal - they are very old cards now require you to 3-D print a fan shroud, but and attach a fan and implement some temperature based fan control ( I whipped up this crappy little golang daemon for it < https:/&

Hey fellow person-in-Australia, I bought a P100 for $250 on eBay and have been using that with some custom cooling I printed and it works pretty damn well. You wouldn’t want an M or K series Tesla though as they’re just too old and not powe

Yeah confluence and jira both need to go away, both of them make it very hard to find information and feel like such a burden to use.

Doesn’t Poozle mean something, erm… quite specific?

by smcleod 3y ago
Yeah totally agree - I’ve had quite a few situations where a monitor or tv looks blurry and washed out with HDMI and it’s immediately fixed with a DP cable.

by smcleod 3y ago
USB-C is the connector / cable, DisplayPort is one protocol that can run within such a cable. HDMI (a proprietary licensed protocol) can also. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisplayPort#Comparison_with_HD...

by smcleod 3y ago
I haven't seen one of those in many many years! I wish HDMI in general would die and let displayport take it place.

Weird that it’s for beginners without saying what it actually is. Machine learning for infrared? Machine learning inference? Or Is it talking about compilers (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MLIR_(software) )

You used it as part of your insults towards him which in turn can make people feel like they're within a group of people that others do not like, understand or see as having or being 'problem'. Your wording also suggests that

Please don’t degrade a huge portion of the population (with ADHD) like that. Making such statements spreads fear, mistrust and misunderstanding.
